Hi Sophia,
My wife and I are both in AA. I've wondered what I'd do if she decided to go back out and drink again. It goes without saying what I'd do if I started again...lol. Question is, would I tolerate it or not? The answer is "no".
Your hubby may just be thinking out loud about drinking. We do that sometimes. If you've never seen him drunk, and had to deal with the problems that come along with his drinking, you have no idea what problems may accompany such a decision on his part, so I think it's important for you to decide whether or not you're going to tolerate the situation. If you have friends who are in a drinking atmosphere, you might talk to them about what takes place when hubby comes home tipsy. For sure, I'd get back into Al-anon so at least I'd have some support.
You're right, you can't control what he does but you can prepare and control what you do as a response. In the meantime, you might suggest that he see his AA sponsor and get honest about what he's feeling and thinking. It may save him.
